Customizable Woden dnd rpg DM/GM screen
Please support W&H by Liking/Boosting their Print on Printables.
I wasn’t satisfied with the 3D-printable DM screens I found online, so I decided to design my own. It’s half wood, half printed—a perfect balance between natural materials and plastic, while reducing filament usage at the same time.
All you need is a piece of an old wooden board and your 3D printer!
•
One front board
•
Recommended thickness: ~10 mm
•
Two side boards (one for each wing of the screen)
•
Cannot be longer than half of the front board
•
Best if thinner than the front board
•
You can use a second board similar to the front one and cut it in half
•
All three boards should have the same height
•
Boards can be wooden, metal, or any material you prefer
•
Diameter: ~5 mm (around half the thickness of the front board)
•
You can find wooden or metal ones in almost every DIY store or print them by yourself
•
Left middle hinge
•
Left top hinge
•
Left bottom hinge
•
Right middle hinge
•
Right top hinge
•
Right bottom hinge
•
D&D logo (or any custom front decoration)
•
Left and right wing flourishes (purely decorative)
This is a very important part . If you’re using boards with different dimensions than mine (see below) —or if you want to change anything—you’ll need to adjust the project parameters.
If you don’t have Fusion 360, leave a comment and I’ll create a customized .stl file for you!
You can also use example files , which are designed to fit:
•
30x50cm front board, 10mm thick
•
two 30x25cm side boards, 3mm thick
•
6mm rod
•
Download the Dm screen parametric.f3d file
•
Launch Fusion 360 and open the downloaded file
•
Click change parameters
•
Adjust the parameters as needed ( see the parameters below )
•
Optionally, customize the flourishes by editing the sketches directly
•
Export the file as .stl / .step
•
Load the file into your slicer and delete objects marked ref
•
These are reference models of the boards and don’t need to be printed
•
Arrange the models as you like it and print
See the images above!!!
•
Prepare the boards and hinge rods.
This is the last moment to sand, stain, or paint the boards.
•
Glue the top and bottom hinges to the front board .
•
Insert the middle hinge into the right side board and glue it in place.
•
Glue the decorative flourishes to the right side board (optional).
•
Insert the right side board’s hinge assembly into the gap between the front board hinges.
•
Insert the hinge rod into the top hole.
If it doesn’t fit, lightly sand the rod until it slides in smoothly.
•
Repeat the same steps for the left side board .
•
Glue the logo (or any front decoration) onto the front board.
•
Done!!!
